Dropping the car off at a different location is only available from 7 days of rental.
Cars available in Djerba
Djerba pulls in two directions. The lanes of the Houmt Souk medina and the Midoun markets reward a short car, while the sandy tracks out to Ras Rmel and the lagoon call for ground clearance. Our pick covers both rather than favouring one: the Suzuki Jimny and the raised Dacia Sandero Stepway for leaving the tarmac, the Hyundai i20 and Seat Ibiza for driving and parking in town.

- Drive on the right. Limits: 50 km/h in built-up areas, 90 km/h on open roads, 110 km/h on motorways.
- Two routes to the mainland: the 7.5 km Roman causeway at El Kantara, free and open at all hours, or the Ajim–Jorf ferry. Wikipedia — Roman causeway of Djerba

When to book to pay less
Booking in spring rather than August moves the total more than the model you pick. The displayed price is still the price paid, all in.
The month you pick
July and August are the most expensive months. Spring and autumn offer the best price-to-weather ratio.
The number of days
The longer the rental, the lower the daily rate. The minimum rental is three days.
The vehicle grade
An economy car and a 4x4 are not priced alike — the economy category has the best prices.
